His story is brimming with details about going undercover, breaking codes and hunting down anarchists. Tunney and his team were responsible for protecting America from some of the biggest threats to our country, from stopping an attempted bombing of St. Patrick's Cathedral, to uncovering the members of the infamous crime gang The Black Hand, to the capture of the man who planted bombs on dozens of American passenger ships--including the Lusitania.

Book excerpt: A “twisty, timely, and pulse-pounding” thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of the Butcher’s Boy novels (Entertainment Weekly). A threat is called into the LAPD Bomb Squad and when tragedy ensues, the fragmented unit turns to Dick Stahl, a former Bomb Squad commander who now operates his own private security company. Just returned from a tough job in Mexico, Stahl is at first reluctant to accept the offer, but his sense of duty to the technicians he trained is too strong to turn it down. On his first day back at the head of the squad, Stahl’s three-person team is dispatched to a suspected car bomb. And it quickly becomes clear to him that they are dealing with an unusual mastermind—one whose intended target seems to be the Bomb Squad itself. As the shadowy organization sponsoring this campaign of violence puts increasing pressure on the bomb maker, and Stahl becomes dangerously entangled with a member of his own team, the fuse on this high-stakes plot only burns faster. The Bomb Maker is Thomas Perry’s biggest, most unstoppable thriller yet. “Plenty of character, plenty of emotion, plenty of insider expertise, but most of all plenty of irresistible momentum toward a fantastic climax―in other words, The Bomb Maker is typical Thomas Perry.”—Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author “Mr. Perry, in this first-rate thriller, proves as cagy as his criminal mastermind: The reader rarely anticipates his next move. He balances breathtaking suspense with romantic intrigue.”—The Wall Street Journal “The intense thrills of Thomas Perry’s The Bomb Maker are almost unbearable.”—The New York Times Book Review
